Jeremiah 6:9-12
New Living Translation
9 This is what the Lord of Heaven’s Armies says:
“Even the few who remain in Israel
will be picked over again,
as when a harvester checks each vine a second time
to pick the grapes that were missed.”
Judah’s Constant Rebellion
10 To whom can I give warning?
Who will listen when I speak?
Their ears are closed,
and they cannot hear.
They scorn the word of the Lord.
They don’t want to listen at all.
11 So now I am filled with the Lord’s fury.
Yes, I am tired of holding it in!
“I will pour out my fury on children playing in the streets
and on gatherings of young men,
on husbands and wives
and on those who are old and gray.
12 Their homes will be turned over to their enemies,
as will their fields and their wives.
For I will raise my powerful fist
against the people of this land,”
says the Lord.
Jeremiah 6:9-12
Legacy Standard Bible
9 Thus says Yahweh of hosts,
“They will (A)thoroughly glean as the vine the (B)remnant of Israel;
Pass your hand again like a grape gatherer
Over the branches.”
10 To whom shall I speak and give warning
That they may hear?
Behold, their (C)ears are uncircumcised,
And they cannot give heed.
Behold, (D)the word of Yahweh has become a reproach to them;
They have no delight in it.
11 But I am (E)full of the wrath of Yahweh;
I am (F)weary of holding it in.
“(G)Pour it out on the infants in the street
And on the [a]gathering of choice men together;
For both husband and wife shall be captured,
The aged with the one full of days.
12 Their (H)houses shall be turned over to others,
Their fields and their wives together,
For I will (I)stretch out My hand
Against the inhabitants of the land,” declares Yahweh.
